It degrades with use similar with the Barrows equipment, and may only be traded when completely uncharged. To degrade the coif instantly (for trading), players may talk to the Reggie, who will be able to degrade the coif. A completely degraded version may be obtained as drops from PvP worlds.

The green d'hide coif is currently the best coif available to free-to-play players. However, when fully degraded it will only give a bonus of +1 Ranged (whereas the Coif has a consistent +2 Ranged bonus) and can be charged again for a price of 15 Fist of Guthix tokens.
